Tonight: The Elvin Jones Trio
with Elvin Jones on drums, Joe Farrell on saxophone, Jimmy Garrison on bass
Introduced by Benny Green
(The Elvin Jones Trio appear by arrangement with Harold Davison)
In jazz, keeping up with the Joneses is difficult indeed. Big brother Hank is a coveted pianist, big brother No.2, Thad, was for some years the mainstay of Count Basie's trumpet section, while the baby of the family Elvin, born in 1927, has raised the family standard higher than ever. A highly intelligent drummer with a blinding technique, Elvin is a percussionist whose work is more than just percussion.
Tonight his drums-bass-sax trio will be noteworthy for many things, none more remarkable than the intricacy of the leader's cross rhythms which never obscure the pulse of the performance.

From a story by Edward Etler
With Sandor Eles as Landau, Stanley Meadows as Jerzy, Murray Melvin as Wojciech
David Landau, a young Jew, has just escaped from the Warsaw ghetto and is picked up off the streets by two strangers. They take him to a hide-out where they offer him help; contacts, clothes, papers, and a route to freedom - provided David can pay. They give him an hour; one hour to find a friend with money. They sit him in front of a phone. This link with the outside world can bring either life or death. He begins to dial.

Extra-sensory Perception
A lecture by Cecil King from The Royal Institution, London
In scientific circles extra-sensory perception is a subject which has never failed to arouse controversy and scepticism. Cecil King, having spent a lifetime in Fleet Street, discusses, with due caution, a subject which he believes might be of primary importance to scientists in the coming century.
This programme is a recording of a discourse at the Royal Institution on February 21. Friday-evening discourses before members and their guests have been given since 1826.
